IMNC 70.3 logistics questions

Thinking about signing up for IMNC 70.3, but trying to work through logistics.

I would be flying into Wilmington. After the race, I would fly on to another destination for work. So was planning on using TriBike transport rather than trying to travel with my bike.

I was not planning on renting a car, but instead relying on uber/ taxi for to/from airport.

If I use TriBike Transport, and pick up my bike at the Ironman village, is there a shuttle that I can use to get my bike out to T1? Do I need a car?

Any particular place to stay hotel wise? I was planning on near the finish.

Downtown Wilmington is going to cost you. I’m staying at the Courtyard Marriot which is a couple blocks from the finish line. The Hilton which is right on the river is close and a Best Western is pretty much on the finish line. As far as I know there is no shuttle to T1. You can ride your bike to T1 and uber back, is a 10 mile-ish ride.

I’d start by confirming with TBT where they are going to be set up.
